Finished printing out my switch panel just have to glue it together and put the switches in place which come in today. Also going to pick up truck after school. This morning me and my buddy got my OBDII adapter to work so now I'm in business with that and Right now I'm testing how well the torque app works just need to try it on the truck. I'll post pics of all later :smile:
[MENTION=36460]reggiecab2000[/MENTION] if you do talk to the other truck owner try not to be an a$$ about it because being nice about it will get you farther then flipping out on him.

Pics of the plate which had to be made in two parts. Looks like it will fit great.

Apartment complexes usually keep a record of every tenant's plate number and vehicle description (year, make, model). If the truck is regularly in the complex, go to the main office, tell them what happened, describe the vehicle, and ask for the owner's contact information.

If not given the contact info but you did, indeed, submit vehicle description and plate number with your application, call the police from your mobile while still in the apartment office ... describe the hit-and-run that happened, tell them you went to the complex office (and why) but were not given the contact info, and tell them you need them to come do a report on the hit-and-run. (This lets the cops know where they can get data on the truck ... and lets the office know the cops are likely coming to see them.)

If you ARE given the contact info, then go home, call the police, and tell them you need them to come do a report on the hit-and-run ... and provide the info the office gave you AND tell them basis on which it was given (vehicle description).

Wait for the cops to do the police report.

Call your insurance company and tell THEM what happened and give them the police report number.

Note: The cops should be able to paint match what's on your truck with what came from his ... and what's on his that came from yours. The mere threat of this as supporting evidence for hit-and-run charges by the police should get the guy talking to you. The cops may drop it, there, if that's the case, as it's less paperwork for them to file the police report than it is for them to do that AND file hit-and-run charges. At the end of the day you don't really care if they do or don't press this as long as you're made whole, right?

This^^^^ but can almost guarantee that they will not legally be able to give you the owners info.

well talked to the office and obviously they cant give me his info a.k.a. privacy act.... blah blah blah, but the lady I spoke with said it would be a good idea to file a police report and to leave a note on the guys truck and mention that i did file a police report and it should have him talking to me...

NOW, aside from what the picture shows... those areas that are scraped, the paint is completely scraped off, and there is a nice ding where he initially hit before he scraped along my bumper...
what would be a good moral thing to do about this besides the fact he left and didnt do the moral thing...
is filing a police report for this, what some may consider a couple scratches worth it?
Obviously if it was someones lamborghini im sure thats a no brainer that they would file one, what is a typical route for this kind of situation?
have the guy pay for my bumper to be repainted in that area? or anything simple like that?

[MENTION=36460]reggiecab2000[/MENTION], the police report is usually necessary for any kind of insurance action. File it so that you have options; it has nothing to do with being mean or nice ... or worth it or not worth it. It's just a step you should ALWAYS do when there is contact between two vehicles.

Tahoe is back home safe and sound and I got my OBDII to work very well. its amazing what info you see on there. I can see MAP info, MAF reading, O2 sensor voltage, Intake air temp, loads of stuff!! Final price for repair was $543.95 half was just for the starter the rest was storage and labor. Truck starts fast now and the new starter roars with power.

Today I finished up my detail work and took the truck out from under cover for the first time since last Saturday ... since it was no longer raining and the roads had finally dried enough. I also took a few photos close to dusk. Here are two close ups. No swirls!

So the switches don't fit in the holes in the switch panel. The hoes are only off by like 1/16 or less, which makes no sense because I designed the panel's holes to the same size as the switches... What ever I'll just widen the holes the old fashion way.

Today I replaced my 200psi pressure gauge with a 300psi pressure gauge, completing my air system upgrade to 200psi working pressure. (Gauge pressure should always allow reading above working pressure ... so you can know if you're over pressure!) I also ordered a set of custom Autobot puddle lights.
